Pulled jackfruit sandwiches

This is a dish
that I have been planning in my head for a long time, and finally now
I made my first version of it: vegan pulled jackfruit sandwiches.
Ever since I first tried jackfruit, I was very impressed, what a
versatile fruit to use in vegan and vegetarian cooking. It's only a
shame that it's fairly difficult to get around here. I ordered mine
online.

By the way I really like my new disposable pine wood food trays. They are from a sustainable source and look so cute. Of course disposable plates aren't really the way to go, but for the occasional presentation they are fine. They add a little bit of a street food vibe to these.

These sandwiches
were really nice, but I'm sure that I can still improve things with a
little practise. Fried halloumi would go nicely in these, if you want
to make a non-vegan version. Have a look at the recipe below, if
you're interested.

Pulled jackfruit sandwiches

Ingredients

280 g can of
jackfruit

1 tbsp vegetable
oil

Vegetable stock
extract to taste

Liquid smoke to
taste

1 onion

1 garlic clove

Mixed salad leaves

Spiralised
yellow and red beetroot

Cherry tomatoes

4 ciabatta rolls

Method

Cook the jackfruit
in a pan in little oil and vegetable stock until it's soft and falls
apart. Keep adding water or stock regularly so that the pan doesn't
dry out. Just before serving mix in the liquid smoke.

Cut the onion into
half rings and fry them in a pan. Chop the garlic clove finely and
cook it with the onion for a few minutes.
